antipyretics

What are Antipyretics?

Antipyretics are medications that help lower body temperature in cases of fever. They work by affecting the hypothalamus, the part of the brain that regulates body temperature. Common antipyretic medications include acetaminophen (also known as paracetamol), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and aspirin.
